Lucas: Seeing Dean Smith

Posted Dec 22, 2010
Dean Smith is all over the court any time the Tar Heels play. There's Larry Drew finding Tyler Zeller for the big man's first hoop of the game against William & Mary in what was eventually an 85-60 victory...and there's Zeller heading back up-court, acknowledging Drew's assist with a point. There's any Tar Heel leaving the court and their teammates on the bench standing to applaud them. (Tar Heel Blue)
